Time for something to stop the hurt...

Meanwhile, for people a bit younger, here's another record that kicks bottom!

Currently playing a bit of Deep Purple! Cracking

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Awesome, the Scottish administrator is my favourite character in that

Had a post from an email phisher the other week claiming to be from the email provider I use, easy enough for them to find out as it's part of the URL that your outgoing emails consist of e.g. joebloggs@mailme.com will be in the 'mailme.com' domain. If they identify it the scammer will send you an email claiming to be from the email provider, with some old tripe about 'You have uncollected messages' or 'You need to update your personal details' with a link that of course, goes off to one of their websites which farm details about your email account. I actually got caught by one several weeks ago and immediately went to the REAL email account provider and changed my password. A couple of weeks later the scammers tried and failed to access it. Watch out! Those feckers are after your dosh.

Edit : the way to identify the fake ones is to mouseover the link that they're directing you to, if it isn't the domain of the email provider, it's a scam. There are several they use like o SpACE w s PacE l y dot komCnotK that are being criticised heavily at the moment because they allow these shitheads to create shortcuts to their sites without any sort of scam prevention
